14. A package of absorbent articles, each absorbent article comprising the through-air bonded nonwoven fabric of claim 1 , wherein the package has an in-bag stack height of between about 70 mm and about 100 mm, according to the In-Bag Stack Height Test.

15. A through-air bonded nonwoven fabric comprising:

the through-air bonded nonwoven fabric comprising a first surface, a second surface, and a visually discernible zone on at least one of the first surface and second surface, the visually discernible zone having a pattern of three-dimensional features, each of the three-dimensional features defining a microzone comprising a first region and a second region, the rust and second regions having a difference in values for an intensive property, wherein at least one of the surfaces has a TS7 value of less than about 15 dB V 2 rms, and wherein the first surface has a TS7 value that is higher than the second surface TS7 value;

wherein the intensive property is basis weight;

wherein the difference in values for the basis weight for the first region and the second region is from about 1.2× to about 10× different, and wherein the basis weight of the first region and the second region are both greater than zero; and

wherein in at least one of the microzones, the first region exhibits a Contact Angle of greater than 90 degrees, as measured by the Contact Angle Test Method.
